You
need to check the assignments on MYGATEWAY daily for handouts, take
home quizzes, and solutions to quizzes.
Look under Math 2000 common sections. The closest computer lab is
located in 103 SSB. To assure that you
have the correct copies, please print or view your assignments from the
machines on campus. You need to save
the document to the Desktop before printing.
Working homework problems
is the best preparation for quizzes and tests. Homework will be collected
randomly. Doing lots of problems will give you the knowledge and skills to do
well on the tests and quizzes. You are expected to spend at least two hours
outside of class for each hour of class time; Free tutoring is available in the
Math Lab in 425 SSB in the daytime, evenings and weekends. Call 516-5190 for details
You will have frequent quizzes on the topics of the previous 2 or 3 days' classes; some
will be given in class and others will be take-home and due at the beginning of
class on the indicated date. Each quiz
will be worth 20 points. No make up is
given for the quizzes and your lowest grade will be dropped.
Four
Tests, worth 100 points each, will be given during class on the dates noted on
the calendar. A make-up test will be
given only in a case of verifiable emergency and only if you contact me prior
to the test; illness requires a doctor's excuse. Any make-up test will be longer and more
difficult than the test given in class.
The dates of the four tests on the syllabus are approximate and
subject to change.
The mandatory Final
Exam, worth 200 points, will be given on Friday, Dec 12th, 10
a.m. - 1 p.m. Departmental policy
requires a passing grade on the final exam.

Drop
deadline is Tuesday November 11th. You need to follow the proper drop procedure
for getting excused from the course. A
grade of F will be assigned to a student whose name is still on the final class
roster and has not dropped the course officially. Delayed grades can be given
only for a situation where a student has
completed all the work and has to miss the final exam because of an
emergency. Delayed grades have to be
approved by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
